Hi,
I finally got around to resprucing BlockInfo and decided to remove the
<meta/> section. It wasn't being used and wasn't really that useful ;) It
basically included a lot of meta information that was arbitrarily associated
with Blocks supposedly to use in GUI configuraor but not really that useful.
However I added another section <block/> that replaced some of the
functionality. Currently it looks like
<block>
<version>1.0</version>
</block>
However I have been thinking about allowing another sub-element <classname/>
that gave classname of Block. However this is kinda redundent because the
location of BlockInfo automatically specified classname of block. ie If a
Blockinfo file is at "com/biz/blocks/Foo.xinfo" we automatically know that
the classname of the block is com.biz.blocks.Foo.
So my question is; What do you think - should we require this subelement or
should we determine block classname based on location of BlockInfo ??
BTW: I have been tinkering with XML Schema support for configurations inside
the <block/> element and may get a chance to implement it in the next few
months (finally - yay!!).
BTW2: This is all backwards compatible ... it just issues warnings if you
don't specify new section and ignores the old section.
